Ingredients:

raw jackfruit bulbs–1 kg(deseeded) and

salt to taste.

Method:

Steam the bulbs in a cooker(no weight is used) for 20 mts.

When cool, add salt, mix and mash well with hands. Do not use a mixer. The dough should be very soft.

Make small balls out of it.

Take two small plastic sheet pieces. Smear them with oil on one side of each sheet.

Place one ball on one oiled sheet , cover it with the other sheet, the oiled surface touching the ball.

Press plastic sheet covered ball with a manual wooden press or a metal press(a contrivance with two flat surfaces and a handle) to form round papad.

Or else pat the ball(keeping it between the plastic sheets) with the fingers to form a uniform thin round papad.
